ChatGPT, like Soylent Green, is people

AI chatbots like ChatGPT rely on large language models trained on vast amounts of uncredited internet data to predict likely words – or pixels – in a given sequence, and would be nothing without the human generated data they rely on.

ChatGPT NGO

Like other internet fads before it, AI chatbots are touted as the answer to every problem, so how well do they work with the kind of issues facing NGOs in the the developing world?

Computer dreaming

AI chatbots are wonders of modern computing engineering, but that doesn’t mean the results of a ‘prompt’ can be trusted.

Bild, bias and balderdash

Artificial intelligence tools and bots such as ChatGPT are already replacing people as companies look to cut costs, but a range of issues with their results are still to be overcome.

GPT-4 everyone

OpenAI was supposed to offer transparent and responsible research into AI but the release of GPT-4 commercial deployment is stoking competition between major AI labs, and investors’ appetite for generative technologies.

CheatGPT?

Educators are scrambling to adjust to the availability of software that can produce a moderately competent essay on any topic at a moment’s notice.

Images and distorted facts

The big tech firms are banking on Generative AI – algorithms that synthesize web content to “create” text, pictures and sounds – as the next big thing, but it could also create major problems.

Asking the oracle

ChatGPT and similar AI text and image generation tools are taking the world by storm, but raise important questions about ethics, authorship and scientific credibility.

All aboard the bandwagon

Forget augmented reality, virtual reality, blockchain and the metaverse, the world’s big tech companies are jumping on the AI chatbot bandwagon as the next big thing, regardless of its consequences for art, knowledge and society.

CheatGPT

The generative AI industry will be worth about A$22 trillion by 2030, according to the CSIRO. These systems – of which ChatGPT is currently the best known – can write essays and code, generate music and artwork, and have entire conversations. But what happens when they’re turned to illegal uses?

Chat Chat

ChatGPT is the latest technology bandwagon to fire the imagination as companies looks for ways to use AI to eradicate workers and students work out ways to get their essays written for them, but is there steak to accompany the sizzle?

The case against OpenAI

OpenAI is the latest internet fad – after blockchain, cryptocurrencies and virtual reality – to grab the attention of investors and companies looking to axe expensive employees but its faux approximations of understanding and creativity devalue, rather than add, to human culture.
